No Fun At All (Often abbreviated to just NFAA) were a melodic skate-punk band that was formed back in the summer of 1991. The group initially consisted of Mikael Danielsson (guitar), Henrik Sunvisson (bass) & Jimmy Olsson (vocals, drums). The band is originally from Skinnskatteberg, a small town in Sweden. Their name was inspired by a tongue-in-cheek mixture of the Sex Pistols' version of the Stooges song "No Fun" and the name of the band Sick Of It All. The group released their albums on the Swedish label Burning Heart Records outside the United States. Within the U.S., No Fun At All's albums were released by Theologian Records and later by Epitaph Records.
In 1993 Jimmy Olsson left the band to concentrate on his other band Sober. Then they recruited 3 new members in Ingemar Jansson (vocals),Krister Johansson (guitar),& Kjell Ramstedt (drums). In 1999, Henrik Sunvisson left No Fun At All. Mikael Danielsson switched from guitar to bass and Stefan Neuman from Tribulation took up the vacant guitar slot. On 11th of November 2001, after 10 years together and a fantastic career with over 250,000 sales worldwide, No Fun At All decided to quit.
In the past two years No Fun At All has done a few re-union gigs and they seem to continue on that way, so yet it's still not too late to see the band in action. At their re-union show at the Groezrock Festival No Fun At All announced to bring out a new album in the fall of 2008.
